Care of the Imagination.

Imagination separates the elements
of what is known and recombines them
in new forms. In this way it may be
said to create the new as well as to re-
produce the old, to suggest what has
never yet been thought of, to present
pictures that have never vet been drawn
to foretell. "A future that has never yet
existed. Sometimes these pictures are
true to nature, sometimes they are not;
and because the latter has been so pre-
valent in some quarters, the imagina-
ton has been supposed to be al unrell-
able faculty. 1t has been associated
with dreams and reveries, with idle
fancies and unwholesome cravings, and
in the minds of many the only train
ing it needs is repression. Yet this Is
like saying that, because light lllu-
mines a wrong path, men should prefer
darkness. Imagination is Il lamp which
lights up the whole Of life, and the
better care it receives the clearer and
purer it burns.

Good-Natured Men.

There are lubricators among men,
who keep the machinery of society oil
ed, so as to prevent its joints from
wearing, and its journals from heating.
He is lubricator who. introduces great
improvements i'll the processes OF socl-
ETY.; but there are men who prevent
friction which would otherwise be pro-
duced by its working. Such Il man l
consider one who is thoroughly good
natllrcd. A man who carries disposi-
ton that is characterized by thorough
good nature, tends to make others good
natured. Other people take from us
what we carry to them; and if you 60
in an irritable mood to your breakfast,
You will probably find another person
who is irritable over against You; and
the irritabiIity will be there because
YOU carried it. If you are good ma
tured, men will be apt to know it, and
to respond to your good nature.
Men are as much perceived that
carry good nature in society us spiced
wood is that carries sweet odors. God
bless good-naturcd men and multiply
the number of them. There is no dan
ger of there being too many who are
not easily irritated, who tend to solace
-men that you can cushion on, and
not touch the hard angles of an exact
ing, conscientious spirit-men, who, IN
ship, or house, or store, or shop, are, SO
sweet that they suggest the more ge-
NAL, the kiudlier aspects Of human life
| would not have all the world good
natured. | would not have good ma
ture to be the only and supreme grace:
and there is no danger of its being So
not the least. But where there are sc
many other sterling qualities, we need
fabrication.
And blessed are they that move a.
round about in society so as to lubrl'
cate it. There are many such who are
not conscious Of it'll. ". Beecher.

Cultivation of the Voice.

sDid YOU notice her voice = asked a
school teacher of friend, after a pretty
young lady had stopped in the street
to speak to her.
"Yes; it was very low and sweet

the American voice.
For American women are, un1ortu-
nately, too justly credited with nasal
or sharp voices. 1t is an astonishing
fact that most people make no effort to
improve the quality of the voice IN
speaking.
"Eyerybody," says successful mu-
sic teacher. "can learn to sing, after Il
fashion,
That theory has been so universally
accepted that even persons possessed OF
a modicum of musical talent are de-
sirous of cultivating it. Yet speaking

Care of Carriages.

A dry house, free from dust and the
sun. and away from the stables, is of
first Importance. If You keep your
buggy near the stables, the ammonia
will kill the varnish in very short
time.
Never, under any circumstances, rub
oil over your carriage to brighten it up.
1t is sure to ruin the paint. Use Il good
sponge and clean chamois, with plen-
tv of clear. cold water to wash the mud
off with. Never use Il duster or 4
broom on vanished work. Never al
low water to be thrown inside the body.
1t is sure to affect the glue and swell
the timbers, so as to break the joints.
Mnd allowed to dry on carriage is OF
no benefit. Frequent oiling of axles
does no harm.

At Johns Hopkins University.

James Cummings writes in a recent
number of Lippincott's Magazine, the
following concerning the Johns Hop
kins University:
Gone great power of appeal playing
between teachers and students is exer-
cised through the "advisers." Each
matriculate is expected to designate
one of his professors, whom he will
consider his adviser while at the Uni
versity. The Professor is to be con-
suited by the student HIS a personal
friend and guide, whom he will find to
be interested in all matters concerning
his success as q student. In this way,
more than any other, does the young
man get a good view Of the benignity
and wisdom of his Professor as the
latter also obtains direct knowledge
of the pupils aspirations and fears,
and is enabled to conform the impul-
sive ardor that meets him into a heart
Y co operation with the University's
efforts for its members. The "advi-
sers' act very considerably, yet very
heroically sometimes. Though once
in awhile pair of knit brows coming
ont of a study may announce positive
ly that at least one person ''can't see
it that way;" on the other hand | have
known consultation to make sunshl-
ny and hopeful what had seemed to
one student dark, fruitless year, and
relieve it of trouble which, without
the inducement of such confidential
relationship, would never have been
confessed through the whole college
course

Important to those Who Draw Notes.

4 man drew note promising to pay
one hundred dollars. He used print
ed form, and did not close up the blank
devoted to dollars, and after passing as
negotiable paper somebody inserted
land tiftv'' after the one hundred and
before the printed dollars. The note
thus altered got into the hands OF IN
innocent party, who presented it to the
drawer, and the Supreme Court decided
that the maker of the note was liable
for its face. because through negligence
he did not draw line between the
written word '.hundrcd" and the print
ed word dollars Any testimony the
drawer might offer to establish the fact
that he gave note for one hundred
dollars must 90 for nothing, us ''there
was nothing on the face of the note
showing that it had been altered Evl
dence of an alteration on the face of the
note would have changed the case. Let
this be Il lesson to all drawers of prom
sorv notes. No one can be too careful
in such matters.

What Indus .ry Does.
cOll l'Se.

While industry is not itself genius,
those who have genius always employ
industry. In fact it is the distinguish
inc trait of men of genius. Napoleon,
all admit, possessed remarkable genius,
but no one exceeded him i'll activity
and industry. Balzac is another ex-
ample; he wrote in all 269 different
works, and all of his manuscripts evin-
ced great care; some had been written
ten times.
1t is remarkable what stress the
great writer's lay on industry. A young
man asked Anthony TrolIope how to
become successful writer, and receiv-
ed the following reply:
"When you sit down to write put
piece of shoemaker's wax on your
chair" And on his own writings
Trollope spent certain amount OF
time each day, no matter whether sick
OF well. Ills dlIll WIS W NiitS iOi ~
pages of $50 words each, every week.
Charles Dickens also believed in in
dustry as the main thing. He would
take down names that struck him, and
also peculiar conversations he heard
while travelling. All this demanded
work; in fact, his recreations were
spent in work Of this kind, seeing
things and writing them down.
Martin Luther was one Of the most
industrious men the world ever saw /;
he published during his life time 75o
volumes; he translated the Bible into
German, itself the work of a lifetime,

FATHER RYAN.

RY REV. BEVERLY TUCKER.
There was lever voice to utter
The grief and pain Of the land,
Till his music awoke responsive
To the tender touch OF his hand.
She bowed in her desolute silence,
And monrned by the graves OF her dead
And she longed for consolation
That comes when the tears are shed.
Till his strains, as they fell, awakened
In the soul that bent O'er the sod
New faith in gracious designing
In the hidden purpose OF God.
He'd learned, a. he knelt at his aitals,
TO trust an Omnipotent Love;
And his song had an inspiration
Which echoed the music above.
He took all our idle eomplainings,
And 10 in their in one mouth
H is song, as low supplicatiOn,
Welled up from the heart Of the South
His strains, full OF patios and glory,
And heard of a listening world,
Entwined as wreath OF immOrtelles,
The flag that we wearily furled.
There is never grave SO humble.
In all of the desolate land,
But his verse has inscribed upon it
An epitaph stately and grand.
Once more-by the beds of the dying,
In the homes Of the pestent West
His song, like low miserere,
Goes mp from his pitying breast
\ wall for the woe Of his people,
A plea that Gods mercy would spare,
AID we take up its lowly burden.
And change all our murmurs to prayer.
All the South is stricken and angaisaed
But never Il heart can forget
The salace his music has brought us
And its echo lingereth yet.

Health of Girls.

A lecturer whose words were report
ed in Life and Hope spoke the other
day us follows
One of the principle reasons why so
many healthy girls become the invalid
women is owing to the mistaken ideas
and restraint of the mother. When the
girl is young she romps and plays and
tumbles about the floor without re-
straint and is healthy. In most in
stanc es much too soon long dresses are
put on, and the girl is put under dou-
bic restraint, and is expected to at
once become u young lady. Hamper
ed by her clothing, which prevents the
free action of the muscles Of the body,
or if she indulges in any childish plays
or is seen by the mother in any but an
upright position, she is told that such
conduct is not ladylike and only suita-
bic for boys. She soon begins to think
she must not bend her body and must
keep constantly in an upright position,
except when asleep. The result of this
teaching is the supports of the internal
organs are weakened. The muscles Of
the back not being used become weak
and relaxed, and she stoops forward
Immediately stays are poyided to take
the place of the muscles. The should
cr braces are at once put on to supply
the place of the muscles provided by
nature to hold them in their proper
position. Thus relieved from all ac-
ton they soon become relaxed and use
less. Thus nature is supplanted by
art until the poor girl becomes more Il
composition Of steel, whalebone and
rubber than of muscle, flesh and blood.
Bv this time her mental education is
finished, and the proud mother is ena-
bled to introduce to the world an ac-
complished lady, and at the same time
Il weak. dependent, invalid woman.
Womans Curiosity.
The acuteness of the observant facul-
tv in women. combined with the larger
amount of love and sympathy to be
Immediately noticed, opens up the ia
nous chapter of the curiosity Of the
sex which, from Blue Beard down, has
been famous in story. | do not think
this quality vice in itself; quite the
contrary for the want of curiosity
arising from apathy or dullness is al
WAYS Il vice; and not to be curious is
SIMPLY to be indifferent. Like all
other healthy instincts, it becomes Il
vice only when wandering out of its
natural domain.
To be curious about other peoples
matters is certainly an impertinence;
but Il woman having no engrossing oc-
cupation will readily find frequent oc-
casion to make herself at home in her
neie hbor's business, and will as readily
justify herself by asserting her right,
and even duty, to employ literally the
sympathy which binds together every
member of the human family. In con-
ubial relations she will be apt to con-
slider it Il breach of confidence if she is
refused access to all her husband s
doings, and as she is yoked to an easy
lord, she will assert her right to open
all his letters and believe that it is not
to crafty her own curiosity that she
does so, but purely to save him trouble.
All this is extremely amiable, but may
sometimes be inconvenient.
